I could be wrong but I'm sure that has been up for sale for ages. I seem to remember it from about 6-8 months back when I was looking for my hatch!

My 8 pot Ksports are up for sale (in the sale section) now I've got AP's on. Anyone interested? I wasn't sure what price to pitch them at any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Mine is midnight blue but IMO white is the best colour. I just couldn't find one at the time.

Yours would be a good base colour to have a white wrap.

Have a look at PW Pro of Mansfield. They did my roof wrap. Do loads if GT R nissan's

Depends what you want doing but properly done with bumpers off etc 1500 to 2k you're not far off it. You get what you pay for.

I'll take a look thanks. Speaking of 'you get what you pay for!' Has anyone had any experience of the cheap carbon fibre rear spoilers on eBay? I need a new spoiler brake light and for about 180 quid I could replace the whole spoiler with a carbon one complete with new brake light. I guess the quality is naff and will discolour sunlight or something...?

Can anyone shed some light on this below.
I took the glovebox out to replace the cabin filter. I can't figure out what this hole is all about. That white wadding type stuff is perhaps sound proofing? but what is the cubby hole for? Am I missing a little drawer or the cover off it?

The filter goes in the cubby hole as a complete unit, looks like a previous owner has made a filter on the cheap!

What filter do you mean?
The actual cabin filter is below the cubby directly above the fan with the white sticker. I was able to replace it.

That white wadding is perfectly clean and is attached at the back inside so wont come out. I found a picture of a US car but that hasn't even got that extra cubby so I'm well confused
I even thought along the lines of it being somewhere for a glove box cd changer?

Having changed my pollen filter last week I can confirm I have the same cubby hole but mine was empty. I also assumed it was for a CD changer.

Without going outside to confirm - that would be for the service book/hand book/documents holder.

The filter lies behind the cover above the white label and to the left of the yellow one.

Sorry was looking on the mobile last night so was pretty small, if you can still access the cubby hole when the glove box is installed then yes its for your hand book etc.

Cheers for the replies, nothing to worry about then. It was the loose hanging wadding that threw me. I'll shut the glove box and sleep easy at night now!!

How have people improved the headlights?

Seem a bit dim and with short range, can be difficult to drive at night constantly needing main beam.

That's possible, how can I test it?

I'm normally fine in night driving but struggling at the moment, no issues with our mini so no jokes about eating more carrots
